THE DEMONIC KING CHASES HIS WIFE: THE REBELLIOUS GOOD-FOR-NOTHING MISS [1]

1121-1140

Chapter 1121 – The Seventh Challenge (5)

Originally, she was still immeasurably self-satisfied. Who knew that this Seventh Young Master would suddenly come up with this? What ‘Little White looks looks like his elder brother’, and she needed to come up with a proverb?

This follows what and where?

The Jade Lake’s fairy, who always boasted herself as a talented girl, was immediately stupefied.

She completely couldn’t think of what the answer could be.

“Seventh Young Master, there seems to be a problem with this topic?” Li Yaoyao had racked her brains for a long time and still came up with nothing. She could only summon her courage and weakly ask.

The moment she said this, Seventh Young Master was immediately unhappy.

He shot her a cold glance: “Considering that you’re the first one to answer the question, this time, I’ll spare you for questioning this young master. Next time, humph humph!”

Those two heavy scoffs scared Li Yaoyao until her complexion became pale. She didn’t dare say half a sentence more.

For a moment, everyone’s gazes was all focused on Li Yaoyao’s body.

They also followed after her and started to rack their brains.

Asking themselves honestly, if they were in Li Yaoyao’s position, they might not be much better than her. Because this topic… they also didn’t know it either.

However, the corners of Su Luo’s mouth still held a trace of that dimpled, shallow smile, self-confident and nonchalant.

In the beginning, Su Luo had the same thought as Li Yaoyao. She thought that this Seventh Young Master would give questions related to the topic of cultivation. However, she absolutely never expected that this mysterious Seventh Young Master, with a gentle outward appearance, would actually have this crafty side to him.

He clearly gave a question to make one’s mind spin.

This sort of topic… if it was brought up in the time period of Su Luo’s previous life, even an ordinary primary school kid would be able to answer it clearly and logically. However, to suddenly appear in this different world, immediately stumped everyone.

However…

Su Luo lifted up her eyes to look at Nangong Liuyun.

Nangong Liuyun’s sharp brows and deep eyes with a gaze that was like bright as stars, he had an expression of great self-confidence and being in high spirits.

Su Luo knew that considering Nangong Liuyun’s wisdom and intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess the answer.

However, Nangong Liuyun’s gaze when looking at Su Luo, although it seemed confident, couldn’t help but carry a trace of worry.

Su Luo knew what he was worrying about. Quietly, she grasped Nangong Liuyun’s hand and drew on the center of his palm.

After she finished writing, the two people shared a mutual smile, with the smile in their eyes one that only the two of them understood.

Nangong Liuyun was beaming with joy. His Luo Luo had always been an intelligent one, indeed, he didn’t need to worry too much about her.

The two of them had already guessed it. However, the main character on the scene was still at a loss and helpless.

At this moment, an extremely panicked and fearful expression appeared on Li Yaoyao’s face.

Because until now, she still completely lacked any idea of the answer. Moreover, Seventh Young Master wouldn’t allow her to ask another question.

What to do? In the end, what should she do? Could it be that she really must admit defeat?

Li Yaoyao’s heart was restless, and her gaze wandered and looked towards Situ Ming and the others…

However, it just so happened that Situ Ming’s comprehension in cultivation wasn’t bad, but with regards to brain twisters, he simply couldn’t do it.

He was also anxious, so anxious that sweat seeped out continuously from his forehead. However, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn’t think of an answer.

Li Yaoyao’s gaze slowly swept by Situ Ming’s face. When she met Su Luo’s gaze and saw the smile in Su Luo’s eyes, Li Yaoyao got so angry, she nearly jumped up.

However, under this kind of situation, she could only grit her teeth and bear it!

Finally, her gaze stopped on Nangong Liuyun’s body.

She gazed deeply at Nangong Liuyun with eyes full of deep emotion and expectation.

Third Senior Brother had always been smart. There simply wasn’t anything in this world that would stump him… He had definitely thought of an answer.

Li Yaoyao’s gaze stuck to Nangong Liuyun. With tearful eyes, she was clearly pitiful, and paired up with her dainty complexion, it really induced a person’s pity.

Chapter 1122 – The Seventh Challenge (6)

If it was an ordinary male, how could he resist her delicateness?

At this moment, Seventh Young Master smiled faintly. He casually threw a glance at Nangong Liuyun and said an indifferent sentence: “If someone helps you to answer the question, no problem. However, regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong, the person helping to answer the question has to accept a penalty.”

Seventh Young Master smiled a smile that wasn’t a smile as he looked at Nangong Liuyun.

Nangong Liuyun’s deep pitch-black ink like eyes shot a glance at Seventh Young Master.

His gaze was cold like thousand-year-old ice, along with an imposing murderous aura that made people tremble with fear. Even this Seventh Young Master, whose strength was a profound mystery, his heart couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

He was an extraordinary person, his evaluation of Nangong Liuyun was already pretty high. Now, Seventh Young Master’s impression of him improved even more.

As a worldly intermediary, Nangong Liuyun was able to make him feel fear. Once this person matured, just how frightening would he be then?

Seventh Young Master smiled faintly at Nangong Liuyun, then, his gaze returned to pay attention to the fishing rod in his hands.

Suddenly——the float in the water sank down slightly.

This indicated that a fish had taken the bait.

Seventh Young Master looked towards Li Yaoyao and smiled faintly as he said a sentence in reminder: “The time is almost up.”

Wasn’t that precisely how it was? All he needed to do was to raise up the fishing rod in his hands and it would represent that her time was up.

“Third Senior Brother…” Li Yaoyao was so anxious that she really cried!

Su Luo sneered at her, the corners of her lips curling up coldly: “Li Yaoyao, if Nangong Liuyun answers the question for you… regardless of whether he can answer, the one who receives the punishment will be him. How can you be so selfish?”

These unsympathetic words were ice-cold and cruel. However, it enlightened Li Yaoyao and woke her up from her excessive expectations.

Even if Nangong Liuyun wasn’t under penalty, he still wouldn’t speak out to remind her, let alone with this kind of restriction now in place?

Seventh Young Master’s gaze wandered back and forth between Su Luo and Li Yaoyao. Suddenly, he smiled slyly. His hand moved and a blue fish appeared, caught on his fishing rod.

The blue fish leaped about, as lively as ever, droplets of water tumbling down from its body continuously.

“You’ve lost.” Seventh Young Master’s finger moved slightly, and that blue fish was disconnected from the hook and dropped into the dark gold-colored fish basket.

Li Yaoyao’s face immediately became deathly gray and stood rigid to the spot.

She opened her mouth, but with a glare from Seventh Young Master, she didn’t dare to say even half a word.

“I— I’ve lost…” Li Yaoyao’s gaze dropped down weakly.

She felt that as long as she put on a pitiful appearance, even if Seventh Young Master wanted to penalize her, he wouldn’t do it heavily.

“Then… you know what to do right?” Seventh Young Master frowned somewhat impatiently.

“I… I know.” Li Yaoyao bit her teeth and weakly pulled down the bracelet on her right hand and handed it over.

Seventh Young Master’s complexion was unexpected.

“What’s the meaning of this?” This sentence already contained a thread of anger.

Li Yaoyao’s heart was somewhat apprehensive, however, she still summoned her courage to say: “This Heart Penetrating Bracelet can absorb the spiritual energy in the surroundings for the wearer’s use. It’s a second to none treasure for cultivation, this is already my utmost precious possession. Now, I’m leaving it for you…”

Earlier, Seventh Young Master had already said, if they lost, they would leave behind an item on their body. Now, she was leaving behind the Heart Penetrating Bracelet she deemed as a treasure. It ought to be enough, right?

Li Yaoyao thought of this and her heart gained more confidence.

She raised her eyes to look towards Seventh Young Master.

Seventh Young Master was somewhat stupefied for a moment, then after, he snapped out of it, looking at her as if looking at an idiot. He pointed at that Heart Penetrating Bracelet with a smile that wasn’t a smile: “This is the most precious item on your body?”

“Uh-huh!” Li Yaoyao nodded seriously. This time, she really wasn’t lying.

Chapter 1123 – The Seventh Challenge (7)

However, Seventh Young Master’s expression suddenly changed!

“Are you really foolish or faking being foolish?” Seventh Young Master was rather curious.

“Ah?” Li Yaoyao had a question mark across her entire face.

Seventh Young Master couldn’t help but take her as an idiot and carefully explained: “What this young master is referring to as the things on your body, for example——”

His fair as jade finger, pointed at Li Yaoyao’s wrist.

“Or such as——” Following that, he pointed to Li Yaoyao’s leg.

Li Yaoyao stared blankly, immediately after, she returned to her senses and couldn’t help but to cry out loud in alarm: “No! No! NO!!!”

She finally understood!!!

This Seventh Young Master’s so-called ‘leave behind an item on her body’ wasn’t indicating something else, rather, it pointed to her hand or leg!

How can this be possible?!

Li Yaoyao felt that she was about to be scared senseless.

She turned around and immediately ran towards Situ Ming’s direction.

Under this kind of circumstances, the only person who would save her was Second Senior Brother!

“Second Senior Brother, save me!” With wide strides, Li Yaoyao ran very quickly.

Situ Ming’s reaction wasn’t slow either. He flipped his hand to form seals and immediately smashed it towards Seventh Young Master’s face!

How could his precious Yaoyao have her hand or leg chopped off? Even if you kill him, he would never allow something like this to happen!

However, something that made Situ Ming spit out blood, happened.

That palm seal he shot out was frozen in mid-air, motionless, unable to advance nor retreat.

Situ Ming’s complexion became very unsightly.

He had known since earlier that Seventh Young Master was very powerful. His strength was greater than his by more than one notch. However, to think he was this powerful… It was really unimaginable… A cold chill slowly crawled up from the soles of Situ Ming’s feet to his back.

He had a very ominous premonition.

Seventh Young Master stood with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. He watched Situ MIng with a smile that was not quite a smile. His eyes flickered as if he was looking at an idiot.

Suddenly, that palm seal, which had initially been frozen, moved.

One could see it was as if it had intelligence, it flipped over rapidly and made a U-turn. Unexpectedly, it then shot straight towards Li Yaoyao!

Right at this moment, Li Yaoyao was hiding in Situ Ming’s embrace. Both of her arms were wrapped tightly around Situ Ming’s neck.

That palm seal seemed to have grown eyes, with a ‘whoosh’ sound, it flashed past like a ray of light!

“Ah!!!”

Just at this moment, a desperate painful cry exploded from Li Yaoyao’s mouth.

One only saw her right wrist was broken apart from the base of her hand!

Her hand was actually severed by that palm seal Situ Ming had personally sent out.

At this moment, blood was gushing out from Li Yaoyao’s wrist like a spring, spraying out onto the ground.

In a moment, her face, her remnant fairy-styled skirt, and the ground, were all mottled with blood. The strong smell of blood permeated through the air.

The surroundings became very quiet.

It was so quiet that they could clearly hear the sound of each other’s heartbeat.

No one could have imagined that the soft-spoken and smiling Seventh Young Master would be this ruthless when he took action. While he was speaking in a friendly tone, Li Yaoyao’s wrist was snapped off from the base of her hand and cracked into fragments.

Everyone’s gaze uniformly looked towards Seventh Young Master.

At this moment, his expression was as tranquil as jade, gentle, pure and holy, like he was a god who had descended into the human world. He was so noble, not a bit of dust contaminated him.

Li Yaoyao’s blood-curdling screech lingered on, but this Seventh Young Master continued to smile like nothing had happened.

“You. The second question.” Seventh Young Master cast a glance at Situ Ming.

Currently, Situ Ming’s vision was a sheet of red! He was burning with rage, about to explode at any moment!

However, he was very clear about what sort of conclusion it would be if he was to rush up now.

With a mere wave of his sleeve, Seventh Young Master could turn Situ Ming into ashes!

“Second Senior Brother… Just for my sake… You mustn’t be rash…” Li Yaoyao sobbed spasmodically as she pleaded in a low voice.

Chapter 1124 – The Seventh Challenge (8)

At this moment, she had already lost a hand, if Situ Ming impulsively ran up to Seventh Young Master, that’s like courting death. Then, what should she do in the future on this road?

Although Li Yaoyao really hated the Seventh Young Master, and wished she could eat his flesh and suck his blood, however, she still understood the principle that a wise man submits to circumstances, consequently, she was willing to go soothe Situ Ming.

The fists at Situ Ming’s side were clenched so tight that they made endless cracking sounds.

It could clearly be seen how hard he worked to forbear it!

Seventh Young Master’s expression was as before, it remained unmoved.

“It’s still that question from just now, if you can’t answer, chop off your own right arm.” Seventh Young Master indifferently said this sentence, but his attention had shifted to the fishing rod. He concentrated on his fishing.

It was still that question from just now? Situ Ming was immediately stumped.

That question from just now, he completely didn’t know ah! If he had known, even risking the danger of being penalized, he would still have told Li Yaoyao and wouldn’t have let her suffer that kind of bitterness.

Time passed in minutes and seconds.

The surroundings were dreadfully quiet.

“Little White looks a lot like his elder brother……” Situ Ming sucked in a deep breath to calm himself down.

Just now, all of his thoughts was worried about Li Yaoyao, therefore, he didn’t think deeply on this topic. But now, he emptied his mind and let his knowledge diffuse, quickly working on this problem.

Situ Ming, who was able to raise above a countless number of people, he couldn’t possibly be an idiot.

“Looks a lot……Looks a lot……Little White…… Big White……Looks a lot like Big White……”Situ Ming muttered to himself.

Just when Situ Ming muttered ‘Looks a lot like Big White’, Beichen Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up!

In the time it took for a flint to light a fire, he had already guessed the answer!

At this moment, Beichen Ying and Situ Ming had the same urgency.

Situ Ming urgently wanted to guess the answer to the riddle.

While Beichen Ying was praying that he wouldn’t guess it. In this way, the next person’s turn would be one among the four of them left…

“Don’t guess it, don’t guess it, don’t guess it……” Beichen Ying almost waved his fist as if swaying to a beat.

Just at this pivotal moment, the float on the fishing line of the fishing rod suddenly sunk!

This indicate a fish having taken the bait!

Situ Ming was so anxious that a drop of cold sweat emerged from his forehead.

After all, if he couldn’t guess it, then he would lose a hand or foot, completely without leeway to talk it over.

Just at this moment, in the final breath, suddenly, something flashed through Situ Ming’s mind, and he loudly called: “The whole truth is revealed! The answer is the whole truth is revealed!!!”

Little White looks a lot like his elder brother, answer with a proverb, wasn’t it just the truth (really looks like) Big White ah (1)?!!!

Once Situ Ming said the answer, the remaining several people suddenly realized!

No one would have expected that the answer would be so simple, so long as their minds turned a little bit and changed their thinking, they would be able to get the answer.

In fact, the mind making a sudden turn was like this, seeing the heavenly steed soaring across the sky. But as long as someone said the answer, everyone would have a feeling of sudden revelation.

Beichen Ying regretted so much that he glared at Situ Ming, regretting to the point that his teeth itched.

At this moment, Li Yaoyao also looked at Situ Ming with an extremely complicated gaze.

For such a minor topic, she lost her right wrist, however, Second Senior Brother was able to answer it……

Li Yaoyao looked at Situ Ming’s pair of arms that came out unscathed. Her feelings were extremely complicated.

She wanted to smile, wanted to congratulate Second Senior Brother. Yet, when she opened her mouth, she was unable to say a word.

Li Yaoyao bit her lower lip: Did Second Senior Brother really not know in the beginning or did he deliberately not tell her? If he had told her earlier, her right wrist wouldn’t be……

Seeing that arm with blood flowing out with gurgling sounds, that arm completely missing a palm……A trace of malicious light flashed through Li Yaoyao’s eyes!

Once the seed of doubt was buried, it would germinate by itself……

1) the truth (really looks like) Big White ah. This is actually a play on how the words sounds. 真相 which I translated as ‘the truth’ although the character is off by one from the exact sounding words 真像 which translated to ‘really looks like’. 大白 translate as Big White but could also mean revealed. The Chinese proverb is 真相大白 which means the whole truth is revealed.

Chapter 1125 – The Seventh Challenge (9)

“Third question. You, come up.” Seventh Young Master pointed in passing, and pointed at Beichen Ying.

Su Luo’s heart tensed.

Li Yaoyao’s hand was removed at the wrist, she didn’t care, but if Beichen Ying had an accident……

But, Beichen Ying had always been clever, he might not necessarily be unable to answer it. Su Luo said secretly in her heart.

Beichen Ying took a few steps forward to arrive before Seventh Young Master.

His expression was unperturbed, full of self-confidence. One couldn’t see a thread of nervousness in his features and mood. He even seemed to be eager to give it a try.

That’s right, he was a progeny from an aristocratic family, a proud son of heaven. A character that was clever, wise and farsighted. Maybe she was over worrying about nothing. Su Luo secretly laughed in her heart at her concern and confusion.

The Seventh Young Master’s attention had always been on the the fishing rod. He raised his eyes and cast a glance, as his gaze swept over Su Luo, a thread of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Su Luo’s brows wrinkled.

Don’t know whether it was her misconception. She always felt as if this Seventh Young Master seemed to know her……Who was this person, in the end?

Just when Su Luo still remained perplexed despite much thought, Seventh Young Master had already come up with a question.

“For the sake of that girl, I’ll give you a simple question.” Seventh Young Master’s tone was faint as if absent-minded.

For the sake of that girl? Which girl?

It was not only Beichen Ying who was puzzled, everyone else was also puzzled……If there was such a girl, that could plead for Seventh Young Master to give an easier question, then wouldn’t the first part of this challenge be much easier to pass?

However, faced with Seventh Young Master’s profoundly mysterious, deep eyes, no one dared to ask who that girl was.

Nangong Liuyun’s hand that was holding Su Luo’s tightened.

Just now, Seventh Young Master had cast several seemingly accidental glances at Su Luo, other people might not understand, but how could Nangong Liuyun, who always had his attention on Su Luo, not know?

That girl the Seventh Young Master was referring to, except for Luo Luo, there was no other.

Nangong Liuyun’s strong arm made a loop, then, in an overbearing manner, confined Su Luo to his chest.

The Seventh Young Master, with a ghost of a smile, raised an eyebrow and was noncommittal.

Nangong Liuyun’s forehead wrinkled slightly, however, since the other side made no move, he also wouldn’t foolishly open his mouth first.

If it was anyone else, Seventh Young Master usually would be indifferent, but towards Nangong Liuyun, with his high degree of cultivation, he inevitably would still be somewhat cautious. A nobleman must have the grace and beauty of an adult, to break apart a mated pair was a matter that only her parents had the right to do so. He would not be so crooked to be that vile person.

Seventh Young Master took back his dispersed train of thought and unhurriedly told Beichen Ying his question: “There is a bridge that can only take 80 kilograms in weight, otherwise it’ll cave in. Now, there is a person weighing 75 kilograms, he must carry two balls each weighing 2.6 kilograms to cross the bridge. Without using any tools, he brought over the two balls across the bridge in one trip. Then, how did he cross the bridge?”

“Ah?” After Beichen Ying finished listening, a huge question mark flickered over his forehead.

How did he carry the overweight two balls over in one trip? Beichen Ying rubbed his head. There was simply no way to do it ah. If you carried both over, then wouldn’t the bridge just collapse?

Time passed in minutes and seconds.

Beichen Ying’s forehead gave off a trace of cold sweat.

He subconsciously looked towards Su Luo.

Su Luo, on the sly, made a movement of tossing a ball up and down.

In a flash!

Beichen Ying’s eyes lit up!

He also wasn’t stupid, with only a glance, he saw Su Luo’s hint.

Such a simple topic ah, how could he be tied up by a fixed mindset! Beichen Ying heavily slapped his head and loudly reported: “The answer is to toss one ball and waiting for the moment it falls to throw the other. This way, the bridge won’t cave in, the answer is complete!”

Chapter 1126 – The Seventh Challenge (10)

Once Beichen Ying said the answer, everyone suddenly saw the light.

Just now, their line of thought was all on how to lower the weight of the person, didn’t expected this inserted sideway thought.

“Little Shadow, too impressive!” Zi Yan loudly said and excitedly clapped.

Among the four of them, they didn’t need to worry about Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo. The only ones holding them back were the two of them. Now, Beichen Ying had already passed, it was really good!

However, when a top quality person appeared in the team, the matter of side issues that keep arising was often unavoidable.

“You guys cheated!” The Jade Lake’s fairy cried out loudly, covering her wrist that had just stopped bleeding with great difficulty.

“What nonsense are you saying!” Zi Yan had her hands on her hips and very rudely glared back.

“Humph! Just now, I saw it clearly. Obviously, it was Su Luo who reminded Beichen Ying. Otherwise, Beichen Ying simply could not have guessed it!” Li Yaoyao sneered repeatedly, “Isn’t Seventh Young Master omniscient, fair and selfless, you won’t let them just deceive you like this right?”

Li Yaoyao had just checkmated the Seventh Young Master for this move.

After she lost her hand, she had indeed memorized the rules very clearly.

If others were to help with the answer, then the person that helped to answer would be punished. Li Yaoyao hated Su Luo to death, so, at this moment, she wanted to drag Su Luo down into the water with her. Once she established Su Luo’s guilt, then her ending would be either to lose an arm or a leg.

Li Yaoyao had everything planned out nicely, however, what she never reckoned on was Seventh Young Master’s temperament.

Seventh Young Master, the outside appearance was that of a gentle nobleman, but in his bones, he rebelled against orthodoxy, following his heart’s desires, doing whatever he pleased. With that kind of nature that was not restricted and bound by rules.

“You said, Su Luo, that girl, cheated?” Seventh Young Master’s eyes half-narrowed, raised an eyebrow and smiled. He smilingly looked at Li Yaoyao.

“I saw it very clearly! I dare to swear it on my life! If I said half a false word, I’m willing to be struck five times by thunderous lightning from the heavens!” Li Yaoyao’s oath could be said to be sinister.

She was really throwing all caution to the wind.

Since she had lost her hand, there was no reason that Su Luo should get away with it.

Seventh Young Master looked at her with a faint smile: “Then, you say, how did that girl remind him? Why didn’t anyone else see it?”

“That’s right ah, none of us saw it!” Zi Yan loudly echoed Seventh Young Master’s words in agreement.

Luo Dieyi wanted to speak, but was pulled to a stop by Luo Haochen, he shook his head towards Luo Dieyi.

Although this Seventh Young Master was always smiling and quiet, but didn’t you hear what he called Su Luo just now? He was clearly siding with her.

Thus, Luo Haochen, as a wise man that submitted to circumstances, also followed to say a sentence: “We also didn’t see it.”

Li Yaoyao, because of this, was tied up with anger!

She very fiercely sent a glare at Luo Haochen, her hand continuously making movements of throwing a ball: “Just now, Su Luo made this kind of movements! This way of tossing a ball up and down, don’t tell me this still isn’t considered reminding him?!”

Li Yaoyao was immensely proud of herself. This time, the proof was conclusive, Seventh Young Master couldn’t side with her under so many staring eyes, right?

Seventh Young Master was all smiles as he turned his gaze to Su Luo: “Someone accused you of cheating, what do you say?”

His voice was gentle and soft, with unknown meaning.

“I protest! I protest against Jade Lake’s fairy’s malicious slander and defamation of me!” Su Luo, with righteous indignation, waved her fist.

Seventh Young Master was so amused by Su Luo’s exaggerated appearance that he broke into laughter.

Li Yaoyao’s heart was so furious ah.

Because the person that was in charge, how could Seventh Young Master be so openly biased!

She had thought to remind him several sentences, but thinking of Seventh Young Master’s expression that made people apprehensive and terrified, she didn’t dare to speak again.

Chapter 1127 – The Seventh Challenge (11)

Seventh Young Master’s eyes contained a smile and said to Su Luo: “But you really did make that movement ah. You say, how did the other person slander you?”

Yeah, did it was did it! It seems Seventh Young Master wasn’t that biased! Li Yaoyao inevitably started to be proud of herself once again.

Who would have thought, Su Luo put on an appearance of having been wronged: “Seventh Young Master, I am being wrongly accused! Just now, it was too hot, I was merely fanning myself. How did it get tarnished to become cheating?”

Fanning herself?

Seventh Young Master’s smile was odd.

Li Yaoyao was thoroughly stupefied.

Zi Yan and the others were excited again.

Because fanning herself and the movement of tossing a ball up and down was naturally identical ah. Also, only Su Luo’s kind, with such a clever mind, could react this quickly.

But Li Yaoyao still wasn’t resigned ah, she loudly shouted: “Impossible! You were clearly cheating! Cheating!”

Seventh Young Master’s face hardened, his ice-cold eyes were like frost: “Slandering another adds another level to the crime, seeing that you’ve already lost your wrist, I’ll first forgive you for now, but just this once! Humph!”

Couldn’t help but say, Seventh Young Master’s hardened face appearance could really scare people.

In any case, in that split second, Li Yaoyao was scared to the point of foolishly standing on the spot and keeping quiet out of fear.

Turning around, Li Yaoyao very fiercely glared at Su Luo. Her fists were tightly clenched, hating to the point of gnashing her teeth.

Su Luo’s eyes shone, immensely proud of herself. She cast a provocative glance at her.

“You!” Li Yaoyao was so angry that she almost spit out some blood. She completely didn’t anticipate that after Su Luo cheated, she would still be so arrogant.

Su Luo raised her chin, and looked at her with a ghost of a smile with far-reaching meaning in her eyes.

“Su Luo, I’ll remember you!” Li Yaoyao, panting with rage, threw out a sentence to save face. She turned around, and left with large strides.

From the strength in her strides, she was really not angered lightly by Su Luo.

“Li Yaoyao, I’ll also remember you.” When Li Yaoyao passed by Beichen Ying’s side, he extended out a foot.

The pathetic Jade Lake’s fairy, still thinking of ways to murder Su Luo in her head, completely wasn’t paying attention to her feet, consequently——

‘Thump’ sound rang out——

The Jade Lake’s fairy, who placed herself above the common people, directly fell flat on her face.

“Beichen Ying!!!” Li Yaoyao shrewishly shouted in anger!

A tiger which landed in flat land was cheated by a dog (1)!

She couldn’t win against Su Luo, then forget it, now, even Beichen Ying was bullying her!

Beichen Ying smilingly looked at her: “Jade Lake’s fairy, seeing you look at me so excitedly, have I grown to be that handsome?”

Li Yaoyao’s complexion was red through and through!

However, she couldn’t win a quarrel with Beichen Ying, and couldn’t win a fight against him. In the end, she could only look at Situ Ming with an appeal for help: “Second Senior Brother ……”

Not waiting for Situ Ming to speak, Beichen Ying sneeringly looked at Situ Ming with naked ridicule in his eyes.

The words were at the tip of Situ Ming’s tongue, ultimately, he only sighed: “Yaoyao……”

Seventh Young Master indifferently swept them a glance, he put the fish he had hooked into the fish basket and then stretched a bit: “Enough, you passed this challenge, next one.”

This time, he didn’t designate who was next, all depended on their own initiative.

Zi Yan looked at Su Luo and Su Luo nodded her head.

As a result, Zi Yan then took a step forward: “I’ll go.”

Seventh Young Master’s gaze returned from Zi Yan’s body to Su Luo, after making a circle, he then nodded his head: “A pretty little lady losing her wrist really doesn’t look so good. How about this, this young master will give you a simple question.”

Once these words were said, Li Yaoyao had the desire to bite Seventh Young Master to death! What was called ‘a pretty little lady losing her wrist really doesn’t look so good’? Don’t tell me she wasn’t prettier than Zi Yan?

Unfair, there were hidden secrets! Li Yaoyao almost went insane from rage.

1) A possible meaning for the proverb: A man who loses position and influence may be subjected to a lot of indignity!

Chapter 1128 – The Seventh Challenge (12)

“Thank you, Seventh Young Master!” Zi Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

“The person you ought to thank is not this young master.” Seventh Young Master cast a glance at Su Luo with ghost of a smile and then directly asked the question: “The fish basket has six fish, every one of the six children gets one fish, however, there is still one left in the basket, why?”

This question, could be said to be extremely simple, with a slight move of the mind one could easily figure it out.

However……Su Luo looked at Zi Yan, deeply concerned.

As long as she didn’t panic and think it through slowly, she absolutely can think of the answer.

Just now, having been pointed out by Li Yaoyao that she cheated, although Seventh Young Master didn’t blame her, but for the time being, Su Luo also couldn’t make small cheating movements again.

Seventh Young Master calmly continued to fish.

Zi Yan bowed her head and muttered to herself.

“Six fish, six people to divide it……Still had one left? How could there be one extra?” Zi Yan, cocked her head and carefully thought.

Li Yaoyao’s gaze was like a sharp sword, closely staring at Su Luo.

If Su Luo dared to hint half a word again, Li Yaoyao absolutely would expose her.

Su Luo raised an eyebrow at Li Yaoyao with not quite a smile. This action of Li Yaoyao’s unintentionally already made it clear that she firmly believed Su Luo had guessed the answer. It also made clear that in her heart, she regarded Su Luo highly.

Li Yaoyao heavily snorted, knowing perfectly well Su Luo was taunting her, yet she still didn’t move away her gaze.

“I thought of it!” Zi Yan slapped her forehead, so excited that she nearly jumped up: “There isn’t an extra fish, rather, that fish and the basket were passed to the last child! Luo Luo, what I said is correct, right!”

Under Zi Yan’s excitement, she actually turned her head to ask Su Luo if she was right or not.

Su Luo smilingly nodded her head and made congratulating movements.

Seventh Young Master touched his nose: “Enough, you can withdraw.”

“Great ah!” Zi Yan, with her head high and her chest out, walked to Su Luo’s side before stopping to stand still. She provocatively snorted at Li Yaoyao, “Li Yaoyao, what are you staring at Luo Luo for? Don’t tell me your heart firmly believes that Luo Luo could answer it? Oh, saying it like this, you admit that Luo Luo is a lot smarter than you?”

These words immediately choked off Li Yaoyao.

“Hateful!” Li Yaoyao waved her fist, wishing she could rush up and slap Zi Yan’s face several times.

Only, it was a pity, not to mention that she couldn’t beat Zi Yan, even this matter of slapping her face, she, who had no palm, also basically couldn’t do it ah.

At the moment, this party of eight people had already passed half of the challenges. Among their four, only Li Yaoyao had her wrist cut off, this made Li Yaoyao’s mental state severely imbalanced.

“Enough, next one.” Seventh Young Master snorted lightly. His time was very precious ah.

“Elder Brother, you go.” Luo Dieyi pushed Luo Haochen.

Luo Haochen’s figure didn’t budge an inch, very clearly, he wasn’t very willing to stand out at this moment.

He glanced at Luo Dieyi with a complicated expression, a deep shadow in his eyes, hiding a thread of rage.

Seventh Young Master’s slender finger pointed towards Luo Haochen: “Then you, come.”

Luo Haochen’s heart was resentful, he pushed away Luo Dieyi and came forward with a cold face.

How could he not understand the small calculations in Luo Dieyi’s heart? She not only wanted him to answer first, if he couldn’t answer it, the time she could ponder over it would accordingly also be longer……These methods, if used on others, then fine, but against all reason, it was used on him, this elder brother!

Regardless of how angry Luo Haochen was, he still had to answer his question.

Seventh Young Master snorted, pretending it was accidental: “Just now, the two questions were all answered correctly, really loses my face, this time, it’ll be a question that’s a bit deeper.”

Having heard what was said, Luo Haochen’s complexion immediately paled.

Chapter 1129 – The Seventh Challenge (13)

“What’s a good question I should ask?” Seventh Young Master muttered half to himself before he unhurriedly said, “There is a small round hole with a diameter of one centimeter, and an object with a volume of 100 cubic meters can still smoothly pass through this small hole, then, what is this object?”

Luo Haochen was immediately stupefied.

Such a small hole, how could it possibly pass through ah?

Seventh Young Master, smiling, cast him a glance and then, in passing, lifted up a blue-colored fish.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but sigh on behalf of Luo Haochen: “Your luck as a person is really bad. Clearly, it can be seen that your character isn’t good on a daily basis.”

At this moment, Luo Haochen’s whole head was dizzy.

He still hadn’t started to ponder it, how could a blue-colored fish be fished up? This was unfair!

He wanted to shout in protest, but recalling Seventh Young Master’s tyranny and cruelty, he secretly shivered.

“Cut off your hand or your foot? If you do it yourself, you can still choose.” Seventh Young Master said in a tone as if he had mercy.

Luo Haochen’s complexion was very red, he really was suffering bitterly and could not say it.

Ultimately, he clenched his teeth, a very severe ruthless light flashing through his eyes, afterwards, he waved his knife to chop off his left wrist!

The blood from his left hand would shock people, it rolled in a circle on the ground before falling at the soles of Seventh Young Master’s feet.

Luo Haochen’s right hand pushed the pressure points on his left arm in succession, then, he sprinkled some white medical powder on it. That blood gushing out was immediately stopped.

Like Seventh Young Master said, if he did it himself, he still had a choice.

If he made Seventh Young Master do it, if he cut off his leg or right hand, then, for the challenges ahead, he might as well commit suicide and forget about it.

Besides, Apothecary Leng had the Rebirth of Flesh Pill, the Rebirth of Flesh Pill could regrow his hand at the wrist. This point was already confirmed. According to Luoyu Palace Hall’s might, they could at least obtain one.

After Luo Haochen withdrew, Seventh Young Master casually pointed to Luo Dieyi: “It’s your turn.”

“Ah?” Luo Dieyi was momentarily at a loss, but very quickly, she returned to her senses.

She hadn’t even begun to ponder over this topic!

Luo Dieyi bowed her head and quickly pondered……

However, don’t know if it was because the two siblings were especially unlucky or if Seventh Young Master deliberately targeted them.

Without waiting for Luo Dieyi to think for a few seconds.

‘Splash’ a burst of the sound of water came.

Seventh Young Master once again pulled up a lively blue-colored fish.

Seeing that blue-colored fish unceasingly struggling in mid-air, Luo Dieyi’s eyes were opened so wide that they were perfectly round, disbelief was all over her face!!!

How could it be like this! She still hadn’t started to think about it, how did he catch another fish again.

“Seventh Young Master…… This, this isn’t right…… Can’t be like this……” Luo Dieyi was so scared that she almost cried.

Seventh Young Master raised his eyebrow slightly: “This isn’t right?”

“Your speed in fishing is too quick. There simply isn’t time to think ah! Whose mind could turn this quickly?” Luo Dieyi said with a sobbing voice.

“Wait a bit and I’ll let you see how another person’s brain would turn so quickly. Now ah……” Seventh Young Master waved his hand, “You want to do it yourself or have this young master do it?”

This thing, must certainly remain behind.

“I……” Luo Dieyi trembled from head to toe, continuously retreating backwards.

If it was possible for her not to lose a hand ah……She was really scared……

Seventh Young Master was too lazy to waste more words with her, with a wave of his hand, a ‘kacha’ sound rang out, and Luo Dieyi’s right hand was directly cut off at the wrist.

Afterwards, Seventh Young Master turned around to beckon at Su Luo: “Girl, you come.”

For addressing Su Luo, Seventh Young Master had already unwittingly called her ‘girl’.

At the same time, Nangong Liuyun also gave Su Luo a push, “You go first.”

This question wasn’t that difficult, based on Su Luo’s intelligence, she could definitely pass.

Chapter 1130 – The Seventh Challenge (14)

“Okay, I’ll go.” Su Luo knew no topic would possibly be too difficult for Nangong Liuyun, therefore, she went up without demur.

Seventh Young Master had just cast his fishing rod when Su Luo raised her voice and answered the question: “Water.”

Such a simple question ah, in fact, not only water, all kinds of liquid like oil, were all acceptable.

This question was practically a free gift. It was a pity the two people before actually couldn’t answer it, and because of this, even lost a hand.

Water, it was actually water! After knowing the answer, Luo Dieyi was on the verge of being driven mad!

She hadn’t expected that the answer would be so simple!

Luo Haochen’s head was also hanging low, his eyes were full of vexation.

Seventh Young Master smilingly looked at Su Luo: “You are really quick, I had just cast this fishing rod, fine, it can be regarded as that you have passed. Go stand at the side.”

If you looked carefully, everyone could see that this Seventh Young Master treated Su Luo differently.

Nangong Liuyun’s deep eyes darkened.

Su Luo smiled, natural and unrestrained, and turned around to return to Nangong Liuyun’s side.

“You have to be careful.” Su Luo said in a low voice.

She always felt that that Seventh Young Master had a kind of deep probing overtone towards Nangong Liuyun. Rather like a father-in-law checking out a son-in-law.

Nangong Liuyun smoothed Su Luo’s bangs which were hanging down from her forehead. In a calm and composed manner, he smiled: “Worried about me?”

“I also don’t want a man that lacks an arm or leg.” Su Luo pretended to threaten, yet her water-filled eyes had a trace of concern.

“Foolish girl.” Nangong Liuyun rubbed her head.

“I say, you two, are you done or not? I have already begun to fish.” Seventh Young Master’s slovenly voice sounded.

Su Luo hurriedly pushed Nangong Liuyun forward: “Quickly go, I believe in you.”

Seventh Young Master grinded his teeth: “Girl, after I cut off his hand, you can’t cry oh.”

Su Luo, smiling happily, met his gaze. “You won’t have this kind of chance.”

“Humph humph, wait and see.” Seventh Young Master cast a bantering glance at Su Luo, his gaze falling on that right arm of Nangong Liuyun’s. He unhurriedly said, “This question, to say it’s simple, it’s also simple. To say it’s difficult, it’s really difficult.”

“Please say it.” Nangong Liuyun calmly stood in the original place for a long time.

At this moment, his face was like crowned jade, eyes like bright stars, pitch-black like ink pupils glistened and dazzled. Flickering with high spirit and self-confidence.

This kind of Nangong Liuyun, even Seventh Young Master, with his always high standards, couldn’t help but secretly praise in his heart.

“A and B is C D E, A and B isn’t C D E (1). You will change ‘A and B is C D E’ into five Chinese characters. These two phrases must be logical and grammatically correct before being considered successful.” Seventh Young Master continued, full of self-confidence, “Take note, the phrase you form must be equivalent. If it is in dispute, you better not think of keeping that right hand of yours.”

Seventh Young Master proudly raised his chin.

This question seemed to be very simple, but to find the real answer was very hard. Adding all the questions before wouldn’t be as hard as this one.

Humph humph, always together with Luo girl, although he wouldn’t break up an affectionate couple, however, he could always check him out by testing him a bit, right?

If he couldn’t even answer this question, how could he be worthy of Luo girl?

Nangong Liuyun’s eyes that were pitch-black like obsidian drooped down slightly, as if he was in deep contemplation.

Seventh Young Master, seeing this, ‘he he’ laughed twice. Originally, when he answered this question, he had racked his brains for three whole days. If he wanted to think of the answer between the time it takes for him to catch a blue fish, really difficult ah!

In fact, apart from Seventh Young Master’s face that was filled with pride, everyone else’s expression was not too good.

1) ‘A and B is C D E’, ‘A and B isn’t C D E’. This could also be translated as Jia Yi is the fourth year of a sixty year cycle – Jia Yi are both Chinese characters that are like the roman numerals representing year, month or date of the old Chinese calendar. In modern school system, it is used as grades, thus A B C or 1 2 3. The old calendar is based on a cycle of sixty years. Since I don’t know what these Chinese calendar dates represent, so I can’t translate the exact date. So, this is as close as I can get.

Chapter 1131 – The Seventh Challenge (15)

This problem…

A and B is C D E, A and B isn’t C D E…. this clearly had several possible meanings ah.

Su Luo had her chin in hand as she pondered continuously.

The Seventh Young Master glanced at Nangong Liuyun proudly: “This fish is about to bite the hook soon. You can’t think of an answer right?” He turned to smile apologetically to Su Luo: “A man who can’t even answer this question, how can he be worthy of you, we don’t want him ha.”

Who was this person ah, why did he need to stick his nose in Nangong Liuyun and her’s relationship? Su Luo glared and was just about to retort back.

But Nangong Liuyun smiled faintly, stopping Su Luo’s movements. He indifferently glanced at Seventh Young Master. “This question is not difficult oh, why should your distinguished self feel that this is very difficult?”

“Not difficult?” Seventh Young Master’s eyes opened wide, “You know the answer?”

Oi, oi, curse it, how could he be so quick? This was the most difficult question on the scroll!

“Not only do I know the answer, also, it’s not only one answer.” Nangong Liuyun had his hand crossed behind his back. He calmly and in a composed manner raised his jaw.

“You, you actually, all of a sudden, thought of two answers? This is impossible!” The always composed Seventh Young Master was shocked. He stood up at once with a rustling sound, glaring at Nangong Liuyun.

“How could it be impossible? This is a very simple question.” Nangong Liuyun got a small advantage and still wanted to flaunt it. He spread out his hands, standing in a helpless posture.

“Okay then you say it, if you can tell me two answers, then this basket of blue fish will all belong to you!” Seventh Young Master said, still not believing him.

“This way ah… Then very well.” Nangong Liuyun agreed reluctantly, “But you must not get angry when I say it.”

“What are you trying to sell, quickly say it, quickly say it!” Seventh Young Master urged.

Su Luo, seeing this, couldn’t help but slap her forehead gracefully. This Seventh Young Master, just now, was pretending to be laidback, you could see how impatient he was beneath the surface.

Nangong Liuyun’s hands were crossed behind his back, his gaze far away. He said the first answer: “Little Seven is a thing, Little Seven is not a thing.”

“Pfft—— “ Su Luo couldn’t restrain that breath and directly spouted out a laugh.

Nangong Liuyun was really daring, what was this called. This was called pointing at a Buddhist monk cursing that he’s a bald donkey.

Little Seven, wasn’t it pointing to this Seventh Young Master?

Seventh Young Master’s face turned red, he glowered at Nangong Liuyun and scoffed harshly: “This phrase doesn’t count!”

“Why doesn’t this phrase count ah.” Su Luo snorted twice, she lifted up the white-as-snow Nine- tailed Spirit Fox, and laughingly said to the Seventh Young Master: “Look, my Nine-tailed Spirit Fox is also called Little Seven. It is a thing; compared to the Seventh Young Master, you are not a thing ah…..”

If Su Luo hadn’t given an explanation, it was still good, but after this explanation, Seventh Young Master’s face turned even redder.

“Loathsome girl, looking for a beating? Humph!” Seventh Young Master slapped Su Luo’s head in feigned anger.

Su Luo stuck her tongue out: “Sorry, but isn’t it because you couldn’t understand it after some thought? I just helped out to explain a little. You, as a very distinguished person. should be very magnanimous. You wouldn’t get mad right? I’m just making an analogy.”

If Seventh Young Master got mad, then he wouldn’t be a very distinguished person that was very magnanimous.

This girl, although she spoke fast, but every sentence had a deep meaning. This made it that even if he wanted to get angry, he had no righteous reason to be angry. She really was a treacherous, crafty, two-faced and clever girl.

Seventh Young Master scoffed: “A woman’s heart is with her husband, ancient truth didn’t deceive me. Forget it, I’ll forgive you for now. This account, I can get it back from other people.”

Seventh Young Master flung his sleeves, and cast a cold sidelong glance at Nangong Liuyun, “There still is another verse, if it is similarly inappropriate, don’t even think about keeping that right arm of yours.”

In Seventh Young Master’s opinion, Luo girl becoming this two-faced was definitely because proximity influenced her. She was led astray by this guy surnamed Nangong.

Chapter 1132 – The Seventh Challenge (16)

In Nangong Liuyun’s eyes, the Seventh Young Master, with his cold threats, was nothing more than a paper tiger.

“This phrase is five words, this phrase is not five words.” Nangong Liuyun said the answer leisurely.

“Good!!!” Su Luo loudly applauded.

This sentence is five words, this sentence is not five words.

‘A and B is C D E’, ‘A and B isn’t C D E’.

The answer fit perfectly, without any flaws.

Besides Su Luo, everyone else also started to clap.

Just now, everyone was oppressed by Seventh Young Master, now, after Nangong Liuyun’s answer, they finally felt proud and at ease.

First, no matter whether they were hostile to Nangong Liuyun or not, just because he beat back the Seventh Young Master, it was worth them cheering for him.

“Third Senior Brother! Amazing!” Zi Yan clapped till her palms turned red.

“Nangong! Bravo!” Beicheng Ying was grinning and smiling, he was happier than if he had answered the question.

Li Yaoyao’s pair of infatuated eyes looked at Nangong Liuyun, who was standing in the center of this scene. Originally, she had started to let go of her strong attachment to him for a bit, but now, within her, it had risen from the ashes to burn brightly again.

Such a brilliant Third Senior Brother, surveying the entire continent, who could rival him? Miss this chance with him, she will never find such a perfect man in this lifetime.

No, she absolutely would not give up! Li Yaoyao’s eyes exploded with a burning hot biased light!

Although Third Senior Brother didn’t treat her well now, but there would always be a time when he would have a change of heart.

Seventh Young Master speechlessly watched the jubilation at the scene, smirking.

Su Luo repeatedly urged: “How about it, you can’t pick out a mistake for this answer, right?”

Seventh Young Master unhappily glared at her. Such a cunning loathsome girl that kissed up to outsiders, humph, humph.

He waved his hand, his wide sleeves sweeping by: “It is barely adequate to pass this challenge.”

Barely adequate? Really was a damned guy reluctant to admit to a mistake. However, Su Luo knew when to stop, so she didn’t snap back again.

However, she would not so easily give up on that basket of fish.

Seventh Young Master saw Su Luo’s gaze fixed on that basket of fish, his heart was secretly angry. He tipped his toes under and the whole basket of fish flew towards Su Luo.

Su Luo, with a raise of her hand, took them into her space: “Many thanks.”

Seventh Young Master scoffed twice: “I’m just being generous at others’ expense, no need to thank me.”

Finishing speaking, he took the fishing rod and left.

Seeing Seventh Young Master’s figure getting further and further away, Su Luo couldn’t help but be stunned: “Hey, wait!”

Su Luo chased forward two steps, but Seventh Young Master staggered as if he was about to fall. Very quickly, his figure disappeared without a trace.

“This, he, just left like that?” Su Luo rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Why did she feel as if he was too afraid of being questioned by her, so he had fled the scene?

“Don’t tell me you want him to stay?” Nangong Liuyun knocked on her forehead.

Su Luo wanted to say something but then hesitated.

This Seventh Young Master gave her a strange feeling, as if he knew her life’s experiences. Consequently, Su Luo wanted to pull him to a stop and question him after the match, even if she couldn’t get any answers, she could always probe out a thing or two. Didn’t expect that he would slip away this quickly.

But no matter what, they had finally passed the seventh challenge safely.

“What about the scores and rewards for this challenge?” Zi Yan asked, after seemingly waking up from a nap.

Su Luo shook her head.

Seventh Young Master had run away so quickly, could it be that he took the reward for himself?

Su Luo had really guessed correctly half of the facts.

Seventh Young Master was afraid of Su Luo’s questions, so he fled very quickly. As a result, he also forgot to give Su Luo and them their reward…

“What a pity…..” Zi Yan sighed.

The reward for every challenge was very alluring, the further back the challenges, the better the rewards. Now, they actually lost the rewards for this challenge, it truly was a pity.

What poor Su Luo didn’t know was that the reward for the seventh challenge was closely related to the eighth challenge…

Chapter 1133 – The Underground Tomb (1)

However, it was not all bad, at least they got their points.

Everybody got fifty points each. This means that Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun together got one hundred points, Zi Yan and Beichen Ying also got the same.

Li Yaoyao and Situ Ming’s group got fifty points and the Luo siblings got zero.

They had finally passed the seventh challenge safely, following this, they would try to pass the eighth challenge.

What kind of dangers were waiting for them in the eighth challenge?

Nobody knew.

This challenge initially seemed peaceful, but the heavy injuries were the most bitter. Li Yaoyao, Luo Haochen and Luo Dieyi were all missing a hand. Although they had already stopped the bleeding, but they were not fit for fighting.

Li Yaoyao didn’t want to go up to the eighth layer, but this was beyond her control.

Everyone spent some time and finally found the teleportation array.

They rested for a short time, and after adjusting their mood, they entered the teleportation array.

The teleportation this time was much longer than any other time. It was so long that everyone became increasingly nervous.

Just when everyone became restless and uneasy, the teleportation array finally came to a stop.

“Where is this?” Zi Yan looked all around.

Now, they found themselves in an underground tomb.

White marbled titles on the ground, a fluorescent light that illuminated things came from all directions from the huge night pearls embedded all over.

As a result, even if it was a tomb sealed underground, the illumination was bright enough.

With this light, everyone could clearly see their surroundings.

This tomb was huge, empty and spacious, so vast and endless that you couldn’t see an end.

But in this sealed ancient tomb, the decaying smell of ancient times assaulted their senses.

“In the end, where is this place?” Zi Yan muttered to herself in puzzlement.

“What’s written there?” Beichen Ying pointed at the gravestone and cautiously asked.

Momentarily, everyone walked up to surround the gravestone.

As long as there were writings left behind, it would be able to help them resolve the mystery.

However, when they saw the words on the gravestone, everyone was all struck dumb. This crooked, earthworm-like writing, none of them had ever seen it before ah. In the end, what exactly did they mean?

Even someone as educated and widely read as Nangong Liuyun shook his head slightly and frowned to say: “This is probably some unknown race’s ancient script. However, how could it have appeared in human race’s territory?”

Unknown race, and still an ancient script? Who could understand this ah?

Su Luo slanted her head to look anxiously at the little divine dragon.

The little divine dragon had received the dragon race’s inheritance, this ancient script from an unknown race, he ought to know it right?

At this time, the little guy also exchanged an anxious glance with Su Luo, both of his eyes were at a loss, shaking his head to indicate that he didn’t understand either.

Now, even the little divine dragon didn’t know it, naturally, there really wouldn’t be people who understood it. Su Luo couldn’t help but give a long sigh.

“Then, in the end, what are we supposed to do for this challenge?” Zi Yan asked in confusion.

It could be said that she had asked the question on everyone’s mind.

Nobody knew what they were supposed to do for this challenge.

The challenges before, they had a target immediately upon arrival. Whether it was to answer questions or to fight or a gathering task. However, it was never like this challenge, where people were at a total loss.

If there was a set target, their heart naturally would have a plan, the unknown was what they really dreaded.

“Let’s go in, and just search for a passageway.” Nangong Liuyun pondered for a while and then gave the order.

Nangong Liuyun had always had an authoritative aura around his body, not to mention that his cultivation was so high to an unfathomable degree. The people present, no matter whether they got along with him or not, all of them would follow him blindly.

His words were even more effective than imperial edicts.

They all walked forward cautiously, with prudent and guarded expressions on their faces.

This underground tomb was so long as to be endless.

They followed along the long corridor for nearly two hours, before they reached the end of the corridor.

“Hey, what is that?” Beicheng Ying cried out in surprise.

Chapter 1134 – The Underground Tomb (2)

Following Beichen Ying’s exclamation, everyone couldn’t help but look in the same direction as him.

Not far ahead from here, there was a red-colored coffin suspended a meter from the ground in mid-air, the whole thing gave off a horrifying stench of decay, penetrated with an absolutely strong, murderous aura.

“Why is it that I feel a little bit cold?” Zi Yan rubbed her hand and saw her exposed skin break out in goosebumps.

“You’re not alone.” Beichen Ying also followed and rubbed his hands. Like Zi Yan, his skin also broke into goosebumps.

Not only these two, everyone at the scene also had the terrifying feeling of their blood running cold.

“Maybe we should continue to walk and avoid it? I have a very bad feeling about this.” A rare serious expression appeared on Beichen Ying’s face.

Beichen Ying was not a coward, but now, his heart was filled with a deep panic and alarm. This was something he had never felt, even when confronting a strong expert.

It could be seen how much pressure that coffin gave them.

Nangong Liuyun’s ink-black eyes flickered like stars, unfathomable, nobody could guess what he was thinking.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed a little, and he gave a cold shout: “Come out!”

Everyone was all at a loss.

“Awoo, awoo——“ The little divine dragon jumped down from Su Luo’s shoulders, and flew full speed towards the shadow in the right corner.

His speed was exceptionally fast, appearing like a blur in everyone’s eyes, then, they lost track of him.

“Where is this something?” Li Yaoyao pulled on Situ Ming’s sleeve and asked in low voice.

“It seems to be a very pure and strong flavor, let’s wait for the little divine dragon to come back and have a look.” Situ Ming could only feel a bit of difference, unable to say the specifics. If it wasn’t for Nangong Liuyun’s shout, he simply hadn’t sensed it at all.

However, half of Situ Ming’s words were a guess.

Because the little divine dragon didn’t capture the enemy as they had expected, and bring it back.

Instead, very quickly, came the cries of the little divine dragon.

How strong was the little divine dragon, Su Luo was aware of it. At that time, Li Yaoxiang was left utterly helpless by the little divine dragon messing around with him. But now, the little divine dragon was suddenly at a disadvantage.

Su Luo, in the blink of an eye, landed not far from that corner.

Nangong Liuyun was deeply afraid she would be injured and directly hugged her to his chest. However, this posture didn’t obstruct her line of sight.

Su Luo saw the current little divine dragon, and couldn’t help but feel that it was hilarious.

The corner was pitch-black and shadowy.

If you looked carefully, you could see a little cave in that corner.

The little divine dragon extended his claws to poke into the cave mouth. Originally, he probably wanted to dredge something up, but who knew…

“It bit me….” The little divine dragon turned his head around, eyes filled with tears to look at Su Luo. That appearance looked absolutely pitiful, making Su Luo’s, who had wanted to laugh, heart go soft.

“Little Dragon is clever, let’s fish that thing out okay?” Su Luo suppressed her laughter and stroked the little divine dragon’s head.

Little divine dragon nodded tearfully.

Although he was in so much pain that tears directly came out, but who told him to pick such a heartless little master?

Our little divine dragon silently used his own claws as bait, trying to “fish” the little thing out of the cave.

“Ah, it’s not a thing? “ Su Luo was astonished.

She originally thought that some sort of magical beast was hidden in the cave, but who would have known that it was a baby wearing a red dudou (1).

The baby in the red dudou was around three or four years old, as if he had walked out of a new year’s painting. He was fair and soft, round and plump, full of joy.

But on this little guy’s head was a green leaf that looked a lot like a ginseng leaf.

At this moment, the little guy bit tightly on the little divine dragon’s claw, making him want to cry but lacking the tears.

Suddenly, another shadow flashed by Su Luo’s shoulders.

So, it turned out to be the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox.

“Howl, howl, howl!” The little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox charged at the ginseng baby like an artillery shell, while howling out threats along the way.

Normally, the little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox also frequently bullied the little divine dragon. But seeing him being bullied by someone else, she absolutely wouldn’t allow it.

One could only see that all of a sudden, she charged towards the back of the ginseng baby, going straight to bite down on that snow-white tender buttock.

“Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo—— “The ginseng baby immediately started to wail from being bitten.

“Aw, aw, aw—— “ The little divine dragon was also in pain.

“Howl, howl, howl——“ The little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was determined not to let the ginseng baby have an easy time.

For a moment, the three little guys’ voices rose and fell in succession, sobs, roars and howls mixed together.

Just so happened that every one of these three little guys’ strength was very strong. Their voices contained the strength of heaven and earth, making everyone’s ears echo with buzzing sounds.

Li Yaoyao, with the worst cultivation among them, her ears vibrated until they nearly bled.

Su Luo suddenly felt that her head had expanded.

Beichen Ying hurriedly said to Su Luo: “Sister-in-law, quickly make them stop. I’m about to go deaf. Also, if they continue to be so noisy, be careful that they may wake up whatever life form is in that coffin.”

Those two spirit pets were both Su Luo’s, they were very arrogant to other people, only Su Luo could do anything about them.

Su Luo didn’t have any choice, she stepped forward and lifted each of them up and brought them back.

The little divine dragon was crying and spasming sporadically with sobs, as if having suffered an enormous wrong. That little appearance of sobbing spasmodically on and off made Su Luo unsure of whether to laugh or cry.

The little divine dragon became shy from being watched. His two little claws latched onto Su Luo’s clothing, his little head shyly buried in her bosom.

Su Luo speechlessly poked at him. “Wasn’t it just being bit a little mouthful? Is it worth crying as if your parents had died? You’re a dragon ah. The almighty respected king that looked down on the world and can produce cloud with one turn of the hand and rain with another. You are from the divine dragon bloodline okay?”

The little divine dragon became even more shy, his little head buried there was motionless, directly pretending to be dead.

Su Luo patted his head and turned to glare at the little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox.

This little guy was different from the little divine dragon who was naturally foolish. Normally, this little fox was cunning and fierce. Although the little divine dragon’s strength was stronger, but he was always still bullied by this fox.

“You, ah you, normally, you don’t yield a bit to him, now, you bit so hard?” The crystal stones produced by the Amethyst Crystal Fish in her space originally was taken care of by the little divine dragon. But ever since the little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox’s arrival, the little divine dragon wasn’t able to get another crystal stone.

The little fox lifted her tails, raised her chin, and humphed twice: “Only I can bully the little dragon!”

Su Luo rubbed her chin and she glanced between them with feigned seriousness in her eyes: Could it be that this little Nine-tailed Spirit Fox wanted to walk the barbaric girlfriend route?

Su Luo’s expression when looking at the two spirit pets made their fur stand on their ends…

“Sister-in-law, there’s still another one here crying until the sky vibrates with the sound.” Beichen Ying reminded Su Luo.

Su Luo turned her gaze to look.

Currently, the ginseng baby was sobbing spasmodically off and on, he used a plump circular finger to point at Su Luo’s group of people. He sobbed accusingly: “Ni lei o si me nan!”

Su Luo’s face had an at-a-loss blank expression.

She looked towards Nangong Liuyun, but only exchanged an identical expression of dismay.

In the end, what was this little guy saying ah? Completely incomprehensible okay?

Su Luo tried to communicate with him: “Child, why are you here alone? Where is your family? There is a teleportation array here, do you know about it?”

Ginseng baby rubbed the tears from his eyes and glared at Su Luo at a loss: Is this pretty older sister speaking bird language?

Momentarily, their surroundings fall abnormally quiet.

1) Dudou: as mentioned before, this is a square cloth laid on a person’s body as a diamond tied around a person’s neck at one corner on top. The two side corners are tied around the back. This serves as undergarment for kids and bra for females.

Chapter 1135 – The Underground Tomb (3)

There was simply no way to communicate ah…. What to do? Su Luo spread out her hands, expressing she simply had no method.

“Ni lei zao ke! Wu zao kun ba!” Ginseng Baby waved his hands, immediately about to leave.

“Ah——“ Su Luo hastily shouted for him to stop.

If she let him leave, where would they find another person to ask about the teleportation array?

Su Luo pick up the little divine dragon whose head was buried against her chest: “This baby is speaking bird language, do you understand it or not?”

Su Luo’s only hope was placed on the little divine dragon’s body, although this last bit of hope was on the verge of crumbling.

The little divine dragon shook his head, at a loss. Although he had inherited memory, however, he was still young, not all of the memories were passed on. As a result, he still didn’t know a lot of stuff.

Su Luo tried to use sign language to communicate with the Ginseng baby, however the other party’s face remained innocent and at a loss…..

Okay, completely unable to communicate.

Just when Su Luo was completely out of ideas, a heavy sigh came to her mind.

“Presently, the people of today, alas, there isn’t anybody who understands the Mystic clan’s language…it really is hard to imagine.”

This was the Little Stone’s voice!

Su Luo smacked her head, how could she have forgotten about this major character? If anybody understood the mainland, nobody could compare to the Little Stone who emerged to tower over everyone countless of thousands of years ago.

“Mystic clan? Could this Ginseng Baby be from the Mystic clan?” Su Luo used her mind to communicate with Little Stone.

“In the coffin, is a leader from Mystic clan.”

“No wonder its breath was so formidable, giving people such terrifying feeling.” Su Luo suddenly realized, “ Quickly tell me, do you understand Mystic clan’s language?”

“Know a little more or less.” Little Stone proudly lifted an eyebrow.

Since Little Stone said he knows it more or less, then it was sufficient proof that there wouldn’t be problems communicating.

“However, how can I let you communicate with that child? Take you out from my space?” Su Luo felt that if she let everyone see that the Little Stone could also speak, when the time comes, after it’s been spread out, it would be another major troublesome matter.

Treasure attracts disaster, she knew this saying better than anyone else.

“No need, borrowing your consciousness is fine.” Little Stone went along with Su Luo this time and very easily agreed.

When Su Luo opened her eyes again, the cold clear pupils carried a thread of penetrating strength.

“Ni lei zao ke!” Ginseng Baby seethingly pointed at the gates to go out.

This time, Su Luo understood, so it turned out that this little guy was yelling at them to leave.

With great difficulty, they ran into this little living person, only if Su Luo was a fool would she leave.

“Little guy, are you from the Mystic clan?” Su Luo used the Mystic clan’s language to communicate with the Ginseng Baby.

As soon as Su Luo said those difficult and hard to pronounce words, it immediately startled everyone as their jaws dropped to the floor.

Momentarily, everyone’s eyes was focused on Su Luo.

They all looked at Su Luo as if having seen a ghost.

This… what she said just now sounded similar to what the Ginseng Baby said.

“Uh?” Ginseng Baby’s eyes immediately opened wide in surprise, and he rubbed his eyes. So it turned out that this pretty older sister was also from the Mystic clan?

“I am from Mystic clan, and you?”

“What is he saying?” Beichen Ying asked in surprise.

“He said he is from the Mystic clan, and then asked if I was also from the clan.” Su Luo finished answering Beichen Ying, then she squatted down and smiled gently and good-naturedly at the Ginseng Baby: “Tell this older sister, who is in that coffin?”

Ginseng Baby stuck his chubby finger in his mouth, and slanted his head to size up this pretty older sister.

Su Luo slapped her head, how could she have forgotten about that thing?

Su Luo took a small bottle of High grade Celestial Spirit Water from her space. Like a big bad wolf coaxing a little rabbit, she said: “Do you like the taste of this?”

Chapter 1136 – The Underground Tomb (4)

She even pulled out the bottle stopper, fanning it to spread that clear spirit scent that was characteristic of Celestial Spirit Water.

High grade Celestial Spirit Water, regardless if it was for people or magical beasts, naturally had an attractiveness for all.

Therefore, when the Celestial Spirit Water’s scent permeated through the air, transparent saliva flowed out of the corner of the Ginseng Baby’s mouth.

“Want it? First answer a question.” Su Luo enticingly coaxed.

The Ginseng Baby, biting his finger, with a voice like sticky rice, said: “Hai gaishi baba.”

“What did he say?” Beichen Ying was unable to endure his temperament and ran around in circles from curiosity.

“He said that the person in that coffin is his father.” Su Luo finished answering and once again continued to ask several questions.

However, the Ginseng Baby was still young, his memory wasn’t clear, besides knowing that he was of the mystic clan, he was completely ignorant about everything else, which made Su Luo extremely confused.

As if the Ginseng Baby saw Su Luo’s confusion, for that bottle of delicious water, he strided with small steps and ran: “Wa zao kai ju baba sen lei, e xiaode”

Su Luo, with one move, pulled the little guy back.

“What did he say?” Zi Yan curiously asked.

“He said to go wake up his father, his father knows everything.” Su Luo unhappily said.

“How can we let him! The aura in that coffin is too powerful, moreover, it’s exceptionally frightening. We won’t end up getting any answers, but instead, we’ll be completely wiped out ah.” Zi Yan’s worry wasn’t without reason.

Compared to this pure aura from the Ginseng Baby, that aura coming from the coffin gave off a sinister dark strength. Just from thinking, one knew it wasn’t someone easy to get along with.

Su Luo stuffed that pinkie-sized bottle in the Ginseng Baby’s arms. In a seemingly real, and fake manner, she said: “Don’t bother the venerable Elder’s peace and quiet. If the venerable Elder wakes up, he won’t be able to sleep again.”

“Oh.” The Ginseng Baby scratched his head, only half-understanding.

However, he also knew that this High grade Celestial Spirit Water was good stuff, lapping at it one small mouthful at a time, very much treasuring it.

For a moment, the surroundings were somewhat quiet.

Just now Su Luo had already asked, the little guy said he didn’t see something called teleportation array. Thus, wanting to leave unscathed was already impossible.

“Search all around the place, it’s impossible that there isn’t a teleportation array.” Nangong Liuyun’s tone was indifferent, but it had an indescribable prestige.

Thus, very quickly, the eight people scattered in groups.

Time passed, by minutes and seconds.

Suddenly, a mournful screech erupted in the tomb!

“Ah ah ah!!!”

“It’s Li Yaoyao.” Su Luo’s complexion immediately didn’t look very good.

Nangong Liuyun’s complexion also sunk to an extreme low point, because he could feel an enormous aura begin to pervade throughout the tomb, and this aura was extremely similar to that venerable guy’s in the coffin.

“Run!” Nangong Liuyun carried Su Luo on his back, with several leaps, they arrived at Li Yaoyao’s side.

At this moment, Li Yaoyao’s whole body was rigid, both arms and a hand covering her head, continuously erupting into sharp yells, as if having been scared to the extreme.

Situ Ming hugged her to him, continuously consoling her, persuading her, but to no avail.

Nangong Liuyun had a calm expression, his tone was as cold as frost: “Situ Ming, you’re too indecisive, if the noise woke up that venerable guy, will you bear the consequences?”

At the same time Nangong Liuyun was speaking, his sleeves brushed past, then Li Yaoyao’s body softly fell into Situ Ming’s embrace.

Just at this moment, Beichen Ying shouted: “Not good! Not good! That venerable guy in the coffin is about to sit up!”

Su Luo, with an annoyed complexion, swept a glance at Situ Ming.

If when Li Yaoyao first shrieked, Situ Ming was able to make a prompt decision and hit her to cause her to faint, then there wouldn’t be this matter right now.

Chapter 1137 – The Underground Tomb (5)

“That hateful Li Yaoyao!” Zi Yan was so depressed that she almost grabbed her hair.

Beichen Ying anxiously said: “Hurry up and think of a way, when this old bastard wakes up, who can stop him ah?”

That ancient powerful aura was more and more intense. It made people have the urge to seize control of the situation by fleeing.

Although Beichen Ying didn’t know to what extent this venerable guy’s strength was, but he could say for certain. That of all the people he had met in his entire life, this aura was the strongest and the most frightening.

Nangong Liuyun’s complexion was also gloomy to the extreme, because he didn’t even have the slightest certainty of winning.

“Creak creak——” The lid of that heavy coffin sent out these noises, every sound was like a battle drum, ruthlessly pounding on everyone’s heart.

“Take precautions, prepare to fight!” Nangong Liuyun took a step forward, standing at the very front of the troops.

At this moment, his expression was cold, solemn and unprecedentedly serious.

That mysterious coffin made several sounds and stopped.

But everyone’s heart was nevertheless beating like a drum……

Sure enough!

Not long after, one could only hear a heavy ‘bang’ sound!

That heavy coffin lid firmly smashed to the floor, smashing the white marble floor into smithereens.

It was extremely quiet inside the coffin, very dark.

There was a weird atmosphere of extreme stillness in the surroundings.

Everyone held their breath with rapt attention, with eyes opened, looking at that very dark inner coffin.

That powerful and frightening aura became increasingly dense.

Suddenly, one could only hear a whooshing sound!

That weird corpse in the coffin unexpectedly stiffly sat upright.

One could only see his whole body was pitch-black, with a triangle-shaped head, eyes bulging out, and garlic-like nose caved in. Based on human standards, it was simply ugly to death.

However, at this moment, no one dared to mock him.

Because this strange corpse, although his eyes were tightly closed, but his nose sprayed out black air.

Don’t know if this strange corpse was dead or alive. If one said he was alive, against all reason, he sat stiffly up in the coffin, with both eyes tightly closed, motionless.

If one said he was dead, against all reason, he could still spray out a strange air with a formidable killing power.

After the black air diffused past the night pearls in mid-air, those night pearls and everything within several meters’ range all became fine powder.

Seeing this, everyone’s complexion all had huge changes, even Nangong Liuyun’s complexion sunk.

“The black air has a very strong attack and corrosive nature, everyone must be careful.” Nangong Liuyun frowned, his face was cold, solemn and cautious.

That black air stayed in mid-air for a long time and didn’t disperse, moreover, in the wake of more and more black air being sprayed out, the safe area then decreased more and more.

“How do we exterminate this black air ah?” Beichen Ying was extremely anxious.

Su Luo’s heart was also anxious ah.

The black air wouldn’t disappear, there would only be more and more of it being sprayed out. At that time, they didn’t need to fight, they would directly be crushed into fine powder by this black air.

Suddenly, Su Luo slapped her head.

The Ginseng baby!

How could she forget this treasure?

Su Luo turned her head and lifted up the Ginseng Baby, impatiently inquiring: “Quickly tell Older Sister, what can block the black air?”

If it was to kill that strange corpse, they didn’t even need to think about it!

Because the strength this strange corpse emitted out, was more than one level higher than Nangong Liuyun. It should have entered the legendary saint range. Moreover, it was a very strong existence among the saint range.

The Ginseng Baby sucked on his white, plump little finger, cocked his head, and a pair of monochrome huge eyes looked at Su Luo in puzzlement: “Xi qi he ah, bu xi bu.”

“What is he saying?” A huge question mark hung over Nangong Liuyun’s forehead.

Chapter 1138 – The Underground Tomb (6)

“He said that this black air is very tasty, extremely filling.” Su Luo speechlessly had her hand on her forehead.

Having heard what was said, everyone’s eyes spun around like a mosquito-repellent incense coil……

Su Luo, this large-tailed wolf, once again turned into a good-natured sheep, and stroked the Ginseng Baby’s little head, revealing a smile of someone about to kidnap a child: “Could it be that this black air is your daily food?”

“Yeah ah yeah ah.” Little ginseng baby nodded his head in haste.

Su Luo gracefully gazed at the sky, speechless.

As it turned out, this strange black air was provided as Ginseng Baby’s food ah. It turned out that their group of people had terrible luck, just so happened to encounter it.

Perhaps it was really very filling for Ginseng Baby, but for them, this was an existence that was extremely fatal ah.

Su Luo once again smiled and asked: “Since this black air is very filling, then it is a pity to waste so much of it, right? There must be a way to stop it, right?”

The little ginseng baby cocked his head, with a perplexed expression: “Ni lei bi fu qi ah?”

“What is he saying?” Beichen Ying, seeing them, one big one small, whispering, and the black air here once again gradually closing in, asked urgently.

“He said that this black air is his food, he even very hospitably wanted to invite us to eat it.” Su Luo’s voice hadn’t fallen yet and, sure enough, she saw Beichen Ying’s constipated face.

“Eat, eat, eat?” Beichen Ying’s eyes were opened wide like copper bells, disbelieving this to the extreme.

Su Luo shrugged her shoulders: “The original words were exactly like this.”

For a period, everyone was speechless, inside the room, it was filled with a strange quiet.

Su Luo once again continued her tempting, coaxing plan: “We won’t eat it, do you have a way? Tell Older Sister, ok?”

Watching as the black air got closer and closer, everyone continuously retreated……

The Ginseng Baby used a pitying gaze to look at Su Luo: Beautiful Older Sister was really foolish, such tasty stuff and she didn’t even want to eat it.

“Yao ba fu. Gong wu zao lie.” Ginseng Baby waved his hand, gallantly and valiantly walked around to in front of them.

Who would have thought that Ginseng Baby would actually go towards that coffin.

Beichen Ying secretly pulled at Su Luo’s sleeves: “What did this little plump baby say?”

Su Luo’s expression was unperturbed: “He said he had a way, we just follow him, it would be correct.”

“But……” That coffin’s location was encircled with thick fog-like air, a dense black area, like being covered by a dense dark cloud. If one touched even a little of it, wouldn’t they be turned into fine powder?

“This matter hasn’t gotten that bad.” Su Luo’s eyes shone.

Because she found that wherever the Ginseng Baby went, that black air was actually absorbed by him, automatically freeing up a very small path.

“Let’s go.” Nangong Liuyun made the prompt decision, pulling Su Luo to follow closely behind the Ginseng Baby.

The rest, seeing this, also caught up, one after another.

Behind the coffin, there was a small piece of earth that wasn’t corroded by the black air.

Up ahead of this place, was a slightly high stone altar, two double-edged swords were inserted into the stone altar.

A double-edged blue sword with dazzling brilliance.

A double-edged black sword that was so dark it lacked light.

Don’t know how long these two double-edged swords had existed, and like that coffin, its entire body emitted an ancient aged aura.

At the moment, the little ginseng baby stood in that place, pointing at the two double-edged swords up ahead, he said to Su Luo: “Di ji bo qi lei, zou kou yi ba.”

“What?” Beichen Ying now directly took Su Luo as the official translator. Every time little ginseng baby said a sentence, he would then asked about the sentence.

“He said to pull out these two double-edged swords, then we’ll be fine.” Su Luo smilingly said.

“Just this simple?” Beichen Ying still didn’t believe it, he took a step to directly pull out the double-edged swords, “Since it’s like this, then, I’ll keep trying everything in a desperate situation, and give it a try.”

Chapter 1139 – The Underground Tomb (7)

Beichen Ying, without saying anything more, directly went up to pull out the double-edged sword.

That double-edged blue sword clearly wasn’t an ordinary item, Beichen Ying’s heart had some restraining fear, therefore, he first went to pull out that long black sword.

However, just as Beichen Ying extended his hand, when it was a thumb’s distance away from that long black sword, suddenly——

The surroundings around the long black sword had an odd, faint fluctuation, blocking Beichen Ying from getting near it.

Beichen Ying didn’t believe it, he condensed his whole body’s spirit force into the hollow of his right palm. Bit by bit, his palm slowly reached towards that long black sword hilt.

At the moment, Beichen Ying’s fair face was covered with sweat, both eyes scarlet red, very clearly, he had already exhausted all his strength.

Afterwards, he finally touched the long black sword’s hilt!

However, an unforeseen event suddenly happened at this moment.

One only saw Beichen Ying’s body seemed to have suffered a heavy hit, he trembled violently, and then a loud ‘bang’ sounded!

Beichen Ying’s body suddenly flew backwards and heavily smashed against the coffin, sending out an intense hitting sound.

He directly spat out a mouthful of blood while covering his chest, coughing continuously.

Inside the great hall, everyone’s gazes carried astonishment, uniformly gazing at those two ancient swords in the stone altar.

“A very hard to deal with attacking power.” Situ Ming said, stunned.

Just now, when Beichen Ying was sent flying from the jolt, at the same time, they also felt a powerful rebound force. Only, because they didn’t face the force head on, therefore, they were barely able to withstand it.

These two swords were definitely not ordinary, very possibly, they were exceptionally famous swords. But…their attack power were terrible.

After Beichen Ying was sent flying, Zi Yan anxiously ran over, with a deeply concerned face, she said: “Beichen, how are you? Are you alright?”

Helped up by Zi Yan, Beichen Ying’s face carried a trace of shock: “This sword is very strange, it actually can launch an attack on its own.”

Su Luo, seeing he was seriously injured, gave him a pill that treated internal injuries. After Beichen Ying swallowed it, he sat in place to meditate.

At this moment, Nangong Liuyun’s gaze gradually became heavy. His pair of eyes stared at those two swords in the stone altar. Suddenly, brilliant lights and vibrant colors flashed through his gaze.

“What’s going on?” Su Luo saw that his expression was different, and walked up to his side to inquire in a low voice.

“If I didn’t guess wrong, those two double-edged swords ought to be the Chi Xiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword from legends.” Nangong Liuyun’s eyes were like bright stars, glistening and dazzling.

“Chi Xiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword?!” Li Yaoyao, having heard what was said, exclaimed in surprise.

These two swords had continuously been passed on in legends, practically buried in the long river of history. But now, they had unexpectedly appeared here?

“Chi Xiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword? Are they very well-known?” Su Luo expressed her puzzlement.

“What only famous ah, they’re simply so well-known, like thunder piercing the ear. Only you, this kind of ignorant person of talent, hasn’t heard of them!” Li Yaoyao stared at Su Luo with disdain, “It is said that five thousand years ago, there was a married couple that seemingly came from out of nowhere. They each had an exceptionally famous sword, together, they challenged the sects all over the entire world, simply battling until they were unrivalled! Those exceptional swords were precisely Chi Xiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword!”

Su Luo cast her an indifferent glance, unconcerned.

The corner of Li Yaoyao’s mouth rose from being immensely proud of herself: “At that time, I and Third Senior Brother read this story together ah. Don’t believe me, ask Third Senior Brother.”

Su Luo was unruffled, she was all smiles.

It seemed to her that the present Li Yaoyao was too childish. Simply like a clown jumping up and down, Su Luo really was too lazy to pay any attention to her.

Li Yaoyao took a few steps forward, carefully sizing up those two double-edged swords: “It is said that the Chi Xiao Sword is about seventy- one centimeters long, the hilt is made of red jade from the deep seas, the sword blade is engraved with a complicated dragon pattern……”

Chapter 1140 – The Underground Tomb (8)

She once again continued to speak: “Cheng Ying Sword is fifty-nine centimeters long, the sword hilt is made with white jade from the snowy mountains, the sword blade is engraved with a complicated phoenix pattern…… These two double-edged swords……”

These two swords, although they seemed simple, unadorned, and old-fashioned, however, all traits matched with what Li Yaoyao had said.

“Indeed, they are Chi Xiao Sword and the Cheng Ying Sword.” Nangong Liuyun’s voice was very mild, but since he said it, then there was a one hundred percent certainty.

Having gotten a sentence of confirmation from Nangong Liuyun, Li Yaoyao became increasingly proud of herself, and she coldly snorted at Su Luo: “You don’t even know such simple historical knowledge, don’t you feel inferior?” What qualifications do you have to stand by Third Senior Brother’s side?

Nangong Liuyun’s gaze was like the cold moon, slanting a harsh glance at Li Yaoyao.

Although Li Yaoyao was silent, she still couldn’t accept this.

Nangong Liuyun’s expression was apathetic, his tone rightfully cold: “Since everyone came here together, everyone has a share in this Chi Xiao Sword and Cheng Ying Sword.”

Being swept over by his gaze, Luo Haochen’s heart trembled, but he hurriedly squeezed out a smile: “What His Highness Prince Jin says, goes.”

Nangong Liuyun’s gaze was ice-cold, as if he hadn’t heard the praise. Then, once again he said a sentence indifferently, “However, there are only two swords, therefore, everyone each has to rely on their ability. Who has the ability to pull out these two swords, will get to take them.”

Finished speaking, he crossed his arms, indifferently leaning against a column at the side, his eyes sweeping over everyone.

Everyone’s expression was all different.

Luo Haochen, pleasantly surprised, gazed at that dark without light Chi Xiao Sword.

Once the Chi Xiao Sword appeared, who wouldn’t strive for it? The attractiveness of this sword, for Luo Haochen, was greater than any treasure. Moreover, Chi Xiao Sword recognizing its master depended on destiny, not necessarily based on ability.

“Good, I endorse this!” Luo Haochen was the first to agree.

Luo Dieyi’s entire attention was already attracted away by that Cheng Ying Sword. Seeing her older brother agree, she also hurriedly nodded.

In this group, no one could deny that all of them combined couldn’t compare to half of Nangong Liuyun. If Nangong Liuyun decided to completely and unreasonably expropriate these two swords for himself, they could only watch on helplessly.

Now, since he had given everyone a fair chance, then, whoever didn’t seize it was a fool.

Situ Ming and Li Yaoyao, also agreed immediately after.

Su Luo voluntarily took a step back. Standing by Nangong Liuyun’s side, she faintly smiled: “Now, whoever is interested, then hurry and go up, ok. There are already more and more of this black air.”

Apart from this area of three square meters they were in, the entire great hall had already been enveloped by the black air. The entire hall appeared pitch-black as ink, like the night.

“In any case, the black air can’t come into this area of ours, why on earth do you care?” Li Yaoyao glared at Su Luo.

However, very quickly, Li Yaoyao was slapped in the face.

“Ah, that black air unexpectedly……” Luo Dieyi covered her mouth in astonishment, her eyes opened very wide.

That black air originally diffused in the air like smoke, but now, it actually assembled into a rope……Moreover, it was still continuously condensing.

Su Luo’s complexion slightly changed: “This is about to condense into a pillar……”

Although a rope couldn’t break in, however, if it formed a pillar, the safe protected place they were in, sooner or later, would be broken through from the impact! When the time came, everyone would lose their life under this black air!

“Pull out the sword.” Nangong Liuyun’s expression was indifferent, voice calm like a towering mountain. he made the fretful hearts of people calm down very quickly.

“Second Senior Brother……” Li Yaoyao pushed Situ Ming a bit. She wanted that Cheng Ying Sword.

Before Situ Ming could react, Luo Haochen already took a step forward: “I’ll go first!”
